ABOUT ME

Hey, I’m Ray and I love making people
dance.

For me, it’s not about flipping songs every 30 seconds but crafting a journey with the right tracks, taking you on rollercoasters of fun. I’m all about being in sync with the crowd, creating memories, and ensuring you have as much fun as I do in the moment.

If you’re into a DJ who just churns out the top 40 every 30 seconds, that’s cool, but I’m not your guy. Inspired by my favorite circuit DJs, I read the crowd and let the right tracks rip and ride at the perfect moment. Check out my videos and mixes for a taste.

Available for both private and professional events, I play everything. Growing up on BREAKBEAT and DRUM & BASS EDM genres, I bring a funky and upbeat vibe to my mixes. From open format to raves, Latin nights (como soy Dominicano), and even LGBT+ fetish parties, I pack diverse tracks for peak times and chill moments.

I hate the “top ten playlist” rut – you’re not paying me to be a Spotify clone. I go the extra mile for a unique experience, from music selection to seamless transitions, and crowd interaction.

Patrons always know when I’m behind the decks, and if I’m selling anything, it’s the combo of everything I do to keep them telling me how much fun they had the last time I was behind the decks.

Let’s make some memories together. Cheers!

Influenced by legendary acts like Parliament Funkadelic (whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting), James Brown, The Meters, and Manu Dibango, my musical palette takes inspiration from a diverse range, including the dark, grungy vibes of JACKAL AND HYDE, INFINITI (pic), and the  L E G E N D A R Y  DYNAMIX II. 

I really love music so sit tight and you’ll hear what I’ve been working on.

On a side note, some of my favorite artists, such as BT and Trent Reznor of NIN, have ventured into music and sound for various media, including films and videogames. I envision exploring a similar path, whether curating music for scenes, scoring, or even delving into Foley artistry.

 

As an event coordinator, I’ve not only organized various events but also ventured into hosting my own, including the creation of Bass Parade, a dance party I initiated from scratch. Bass Parade embodied my vision of a local club night – a straightforward formula of affordable drinks, budget-friendly cover charges, and featuring local DJs without resorting to gimmicks like tiered tickets or social media sharing for discounts. I even brought headliners at my own expense, keeping things simple. I had the pleasure of running bass Parade for 6 years.

I tried to sustain it after relocating to South Florida, several challenges arose, making it difficult to continue. The valuable experience gained from running my own night significantly influences my event coordination skills, from understanding the crowd to navigating club politics, adjusting the energy between DJ sets, and more.

While I find fulfillment as a DJ, I’m ready to leverage my event coordination expertise when needed, contributing to meaningful causes like Tenth Level Tavern!

Thanks for reading! Catch you on the dance floor.

CONTACT / BOOKING

I love weddings! I’ve done dozens. 

Contact me and we can quotes, music, and equipment you need me to bring.

Depends on the gig and arrangements. I’m currently based in South Florida. Certain times of the year are busier than others for me (also keep whatever residencies I have active in mind), so my best answer is to just reach out to me and I’ll let you know if we can make arrangements.

I’m generally booked for EDM (house/breakbeats/ fetish parties etc), but I’m actually pretty versatile.

Check out some of my open format videos and you can see how I roll. My only limitation is that with rap and hip-hop I prefer the more dancy 80s-2000 stuff vs. what I call “post-trap” rap music. It’s too slow for me to have fun spnning.

I get paid upwards of $100/hour. However, not everyone can afford that and it’s a little more about making your event happen than me making the most bank possible because I love what I do.

Contact me, let me know what you’re interested in booking me for and I’ll see what I can make happen for you!
